Major breaking news coming out from the Middle East, a pilot attacked his co-pilot, seriously injuring him, attempting to hijack a flight to Tel Aviv. Israel has scrambled warplanes. The images that we're getting from this, from this inside the plane are extremely graphic. We're hearing from passengers that this was thwarted and it may have been a major disaster. Now, of course, this coming amid the war with Iran and the Middle East, we're getting updates on this as well. The latest reporting is that Iran is losing its grip on the straight of four moves. This may be related, we don't know for sure. We're still getting details on what exactly went down with this attempted hijacking, but of course, Israeli officials are saying this may have been a major disaster. We don't know the exact motivations yet, but there is some reporting. So let's jump into the news. This of course, guys, I'm not going to waste time just opining on the war to get started. This is important stuff. We're going to break it down for you right away. We have images, of course, and videos from inside the plane.
We are blurring them. They are incredibly graphic. So let me get the news for you guys from the Daily Mail pilot attacked co-pilot and tried to hijack flight to Tel Aviv before he was overpowered by passengers who haveverted a major disaster. You see a commercial pilot flying from Dubai to Israel attacked his co-pilot before being overpowered by passengers. In what is fear to have been an attempted hijacking, passengers have said they believe the pilot was attempting to crash the fly, do by flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv today after allegedly stabbing his co-pilot. Now I do want to stress the alleged here is doing a lot of lifting as there's images of the co-pilot bleeding profusely. Now again, we don't know the pilot did it. I'm just saying this guy got stabbed. Major disaster was narrowly avoided in Israeli official told the Jerusalem post describing how holiday makers onboard the flight managed to subdue the pilot by tying him up.
The plane was diverted over Jordanian airspace towards Saudi Arabia, transmitting a general emergency signal, and then another emergency signal of unlawful interference. Not long after the incident, the plane landed at Tabooq, a civilian military base in the kingdom with 180 passengers onboard. Israel closed its airspace and scrambled warplanes over fears the jet had been hijacked. His prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency security meeting with the fence minister Israel is Israel cats. His name for the country. Dramatic footage filmed by passengers moments after the attack shows a crew member covered in blood on the floor of the aircraft outside the cockpit. His passengers tend to him. A second crew member is seen beside him seemingly unconscious and covered in blood. Data from flight radar 24 shows the jet rapidly losing altitude over Saudi Arabia just two hours after takeoff, descending more than 17,000 feet in less than two minutes just after
five 21 UTC. Very interesting. Now we've got a lot of graphic images here. We are blurring them, of course. And hey guys, the images and videos all available on X for those that want to seek it out. Here at Timcast, we, we, we, they're, I'll put it like this for you guys. I know a lot of people are like, look, the internet just show it. But a lot of the people that watch this might have this on in their living room. Their kids are watching so we don't show the graphic stuff. You'll have to seek that stuff out on your own. And if you want to see those images, it is what it is. Passages in the plane told Israel's channel 12. They are shouts from others, the front of the jet, who overheard the violent altercation. According to witnesses, two pilots who were at the back of the jet came forward to help land it with one passenger saying, I shed at them to run and take control of the plane. As the other pilots to control the aircraft, passengers ran towards the man who had a knife. One passenger, Al Magh Itali, described the two pilots at the back of the plane as relief pilots who were supposed to be operating a subsequent flight.
One of them was British, he says, adding the second relief pilot was European, but did not specify their nationality. He said the exact details of what happened in the cockpit are unclear, but described how the relief pilots stabilized the aircraft and landed in Saudi Arabia. There are quite a few versions, he says, after speaking to people from the front of the plane. What is clear is that there were two pilots in the front, one stabbed the other. The growing consensus among the Israeli security establishment, including the Israel defense forces, Mossad and Shinnbeth, is that the incident was intended as an act of terror. Photographs from the flight show one passenger with a white shirt, which is covered in blood. Another recorded video with blood over his face, emerging from a gash that stretches from his forehead down to his nose. He said, we're here during the hijacking of an airplane. At this point, we've subdued the terrorists. We were approaching landing. Whoever is hearing me, we need help. We're landing into book, apparently in Saudi Arabia, an unknown unfamiliar area on the plane. Everybody is safe and sound, other than the pilot we need help.
The plane sent a squawk code of 7700, a general international emergency signal. It made a U-turn over the Jordan, Saudi Arabia border. When it flew over Saudi Arabia, it briefly issued a code 7500, meaning hijacking or unlawful interference. Regional official briefed on the incident, said a fight broke out in the cockpit and apparently involved pilots, but edited wasn't immediately clear what it caused to dispute. Israel's I-24 news said it was currently being examined whether a stabbing incident occurred. We were either going to crash or be murdered. It was like a terrorist attack in mid-air, one passenger told the outlet. The channel reported that authorities are investigating whether the pilot attempted to crash the plane before being stopped by his co-pilot and passengers. Another passenger on the Boeing 737 Max told Israel's Channel 12, we heard screams in the plane. Then they opened the cockpit and we saw blood and someone had stabbed the pilot with a pocket knife. She described how the Israeli passengers helped restrain an attacker along with members
the crew. We prayed, Shema Israel, she said, there were also moments when we thought we weren't going to make it out alive. Another woman identifying herself as numb told the network in a call, screams began to plane by passengers who realized what was happening. We understand that one of the pilots was stabbed and seriously wounded and they lost control of the plane. It started to dive quickly. It was very scary. One passenger, itchak Lieber recorded a video addressed to his family before uploading it to Facebook. We took control of the situation here on the flight. There was an attacker with a knife who stabbed one of the pilots. We just jumped on him and restrained him together with the pilot. He added the attacker had been neutralized, was seriously injured and had been tied up. One passenger speaking to Channel 12 said her husband helped to neutralize the terrorist. The woman, Maytall, says a member of the flight crew in the cockpit tried to crash the plane and was subdued by passengers. She said, someone shouted stabbing and my husband immediately understood what was happening
and rushed to the front of the plane and along with the other Israelis, they neutralized the terrorist. There were stabbing and a lot of blood. We're very emotional and under terrible stress. It's very difficult for me to talk. Of course many of these images just show the passengers leaving, but there's a lot of blood ladies and gentlemen. There was a second team of pilots and civilian clothes in the plane according to the outlet who allegedly prevented one of the other pilots from taking over and crashing a jet. A senior Israeli official told the channel that if the pilots had not been in the jet, the incident could have ended in another September 11th, attack or at 1976 and Tebe hostage incident. Data from the publicly available sources shows that two hours and 15 minutes into the flight, the jet suddenly took a sharp nose dive dropping from 34,000 to around 17,000 and under a minute as it sped up from 411 knots to nearly 600. Okay. This is crazy. The aircraft recovered several seconds before reaching 21,650 feet before dropping sharply,
sharply again, excuse me, this time to under 14,000 feet over the next hour, the plane failed to maintain a steady altitude, but it remained at around 15,000 feet indicating it was being controlled by hand rather than autopilot according to the times of Israel. The authorities were unable to make contact with the jet during the incident. Now I'm going to pause and I think of course we are hearing the worst of the worst from the Israeli sources that it was going to be like a September 11th attack. If what we're hearing so far is the correct accounting, it may have been something on par with September 11th. This man was trying to crash this plane. We don't know for sure, but based on the publicly available flight tracking data and the loss of altitude, this is something you're making up. I would surmise the pilot made a move to drop the plane to a much lower altitude, increase speed, the co-pilot said, what are you doing? A fight breaks out. The pilot stabs the co-pilot to stop him so that he can take control of this plane for whatever presumed the reason you want to make passengers stopped him.
We can see the plane going up and down as there's an attempt to stabilize. I wonder actually if the first recovery to 21,650 was when the co-pilot said, no, you're not doing this. When it drops again after the pilot attacks the co-pilot, it stabilizes once the reserve pilots come in and take control. Now again, we don't know exactly what the intention was. We, I would say this seems to be an attempted terror attack. But again, we don't know. We are not in the air anymore of these hijackings where they're like, I'm going to land the plane somewhere else. They were flying for two hours headed towards Israel. So terrifying circumstance is real, of course, scrambled war jets. The question is, what is going on? Why is it happening? Well Fox News is reporting that Iran has lost grip on the straight of four moves as oil exports hit the highest level since the war began. Could this be a desperate effort from someone sympathizing with the Iranians or who hates
Israel and the United States upset that Iran is on the verge of defeat? Now, when you call yesterday on Tim Kast IRL, a great point was made by one of our Tim Kast members. Why are we at war with Iran? And one of the smartest things I've ever heard was when this caller, again, a Tim Kast member said, Tim, your theory on cutting off the straight of four moves to reduce China's access to energy is brilliant, it's genius. And I said, thank you. I'm so smart. I'm good. He did say that, but I'm actually, I'm only half kidding. Now with respect, he said, I agree. I hear what you're saying. I think it is an excellent analysis. I fully admit, you know, I don't know for sure, but he made a much better point in my opinion, something I had overlooked. And I was joking about it, by the way, he did say like that's great insight, but. And this is where I agree with him. He says, the reason we went to war with Iran is because the Saudis demanded it. And you know, I think he might be right.
The petro dollar, the basis for US global dominance is waning. The bricks nations are trying and actively trading oil in other currencies. China's been buying oil in one Saudi Arabia is basically said, okay, channel, let's play ball. Trump says, don't do it. Our petro dollar contract with Saudi Arabia that says they will only trade oil from their country in dollars. It ended. So here's an excellent scenario proposed by one of our great members. Trump goes to the Saudis and says, we want that deal back for another 50 years. The US will not falter. And they said, okay, then you got to stop the Iranians. You know why? The Houthi rebels armed and funded by the Iranians were bombing cargo ships in the Red Sea through the through the Suez Saudi Arabia, of course, being threatened by this and pissed off because these Houthis are in Yemen. Saudi Arabia, of course, has been dealing with a massive conflict with with the Houthis
in Yemen. So here's the scenario. They say to Trump, we want to stop to the Houthi rebels, but Iran keeps pumping money and weapons to him. You put a stop to it. Trump says, okay, the Houthi rebels were bombing cargo ships. So Trump says it's time for regime change. Why? To maintain the petro dollar system because Saudi Arabia demanded it. You know what? That's probably right. That's probably right. I got to be honest, that's probably right. Makes a lot of sense. Now of course, closing the straight of foremoo's and cutting off China makes sense as well. But I'm going to put that back now because this theory was a hypothesis based on why would we do all of these things? And perhaps shutting down the straight of foremoo's is not necessary if we control the petro dollar. Who cares if OPEX pump and oil so long as our pump and oil under our flag? But that flag has waned. So Trump doesn't need to close the straight of foremoo's.
I actually think this theory is much more likely to be correct. The Saudis demanded it. Trump said, okay. And you know, to be honest, that is kind of a surface level assessment. I'm not trying to be a decades. It's an excellent analysis. But what I mean is we've known for some time since the Houthi rebels and the Saudis they've been fighting and the Houthis have been bombing ships. We knew this was a major issue for the United States. In fact, the US took action to stop the Houthi rebels some time ago. Now they're striking at Iran and wiping out their leadership for this reason. The question is, how do we now exit this without them, without them, without them, without the Iranians causing problems in the straight and arming militia groups in the Middle East and these rebels in Yemen once again? No easy answers. I know the libertarians are saying it's wrong. Don't do it. Just stop. Sure, sure. But there are serious questions that we need answered. We and this is and this is, look, this is this is serious.
Do we want the petro dollar system? Honest question. China is working on their Belt and Road initiative. Effectively, they're liberal economic order. They are building debt in various nations so they can become the global hegemon and they have said as much. Should the US be second class to communist China? No easy answers, my friends. None whatsoever. Now I'm not suggesting everything the US is doing is the appropriate response of the right answer. I honestly don't know. What I do know is I'm not smart enough nor knowledgeable enough to give you any real solutions to how we deal with a threat like the esc... The ascendant communist China. They're growing rapidly. They're developing rapidly and the US is struggling. Now one thing I can say is we should stop giving a giving our manufacturing, stop giving away manufacturing to China. Trump seems to want to do that. But there are questions about what happens if the petro dollar falters. The US doesn't even make its own aluminum. We have boxed out minds.
We don't refine it. Canada imports from China and sells it to us. If we do not do something, the US is going to effectively be a second world nation. Or, you know, and second world, for those that don't know. The first world referred to the United States and Russia. The second world referred to the aligned nations of these countries and the third world were unaligned. People often say third world to refer to undeveloped nations, typically why they were unaligned in the Cold War. Second world would mean we are underneath the boot of a major superpower. Do we want this? Guys, I'm going to tell you something. I'm not suggesting this is right. Okay, I'm not suggesting the war is good. I am telling you one basic fact. The US does not have enough economic power outside the petro dollar system for us to maintain our current standard of living and our current wealth.
The GDP per capita in the US is about $95,000 per year. That means on average, the median salary is somewhere less than that. This means buying a laptop for a thousand bucks, a good one, that didn't happen if we lose the petro dollar. Your laptops are going to cost $10,000 because they have to be imported and we don't export enough and we gave away our manufacturing. Now, it makes sense to deliver like an economic order to say, we're going to give away our manufacturing based on matter because we control the petro dollar. But if you give away your manufacturing based to China, lose the petro dollar, you've got nothing and the US is in serious trouble. We do not produce enough. We got a big military, got the biggest. They say that the US Air Force is the biggest in the world and the second biggest is the US Navy. Well, this is how the system works. Everybody buys oil in dollars and we guarantee security. If there is a German ship cargo vessel that is transporting goods, the US says we police
the seas and we make sure you're safe from pirates, from terrorists or otherwise. So when the Houthi rebels are blown up cargo ships, the Saudis are saying, what's good, what's the point of the petro dollar deal? If we can't get our oil ships out because the hood is going to blow them up and the US says we will police that now. I'm not a fan of the ideas US world police. I'm not a fan of the idea. I'm not a fan of us going to war in Iran, especially with no cases belly and with no leadership, with no legitimate explanation to the American people. I am not a fan of this system where they lie to the American people, keep them like we call it, we call it keep them mushrooms. You keep them the dark and you feed them ish, if you know what I mean. Not a fan of this system. You want to be the world police for the petro dollar, you say it and the people can vote on that if that's what they want. But people need to, you need to be honest. It's tell them and I'd be willing to bet most Americans be in favor of it if he's told
them. If he said, hey, do you like, you know, in Europe, they pay like eight, ten bucks for gas. Yeah. Okay. Do you like your gas at four dollars? You don't do you? How would eight dollars sound? Pretty dang bad. What if we could get that down to two dollars? Okay. In order to do that, we got to go blow up Iran. Now again, I'm going to stress this. I am not a fan of this war. It has not been adequately explained. My point is only or or justified. My point is only this. I genuinely believe the average American, you get, you walk up to him and say, if we get, if we, if we, if blowing up a run will get your gas at two dollars, would you do it? They'd be like me. Absolutely. And you can tell him whatever reason you want. Oh, they hate us for our freedom. Blah blah blah blah blah. This is why the US has been targeting Iran for decades because they are outside the petro dollar system. They're threatening the Saudi Saudis hate the Iranians and the Houthi rebels and those backed by Iran are threatening the oil trade for these nations.
Guys, there are cities in Saudi Arabia that for like these people are wearing like robes covered in gold chains because they got oil and they like living that way. They like having that access to trade and they don't like it being threatened by the Iranians. So say what you will. I don't have answers for you. I'm just a guy in the internet smack talking, right? I don't know how you resolve this. What I do know is no one knows what's actually going on. It is not mindlessly justified. There is a reason behind this. I argue they should say it. Justify it. I'm going to leave it there smash the like button share the show stick around more to come throughout the day and we got more coming up for you on this channel. Subscribe share the show. Follow me on accident Instagram at Timcast and we will see you all in the next show. Welcome to the nightmare. My friends YouTube is rolling out a new feature to select creators starting next year and it's
called a B testing for videos. What does that mean? It means that one video might actually be three different videos depending on who you are. What is this ultimately mean? Means that you'll see a video that says orange man bad, but your friend will see a video that says orange man good. And depending on who you are, that same URL will be a different video. You'll go to a YouTube creators page and one video that they uploaded will actually be three and you can get who knows what version. Now YouTube already allows this for thumbnails and titles and many of you may have noticed. This is the case for my channel. Everyone does it. Well, because you have to at this point, because everybody now has the ability to maximize the best of three titles and thumbnails, everybody is competing at a much higher level. So for us, what we do is three titles, descriptive, we do moderate and we do vague and people say,
we don't like the clickbait. I agree. I don't either. The only problem. Well, we do the A, B testing, same as everybody else and what do we find? Vague headlines things, you know, when you post something like this will not end well. All the biggest channels do it. Everyone does it and for those that don't like it, the reality is most people love it. They just do. And I can hear the people saying they don't like it, but I've explained some million times. When we look at engagement, comments, view duration, click through rate, all of that stuff spikes. If our videos, the views we make here at Timcast are less descriptive. For whatever reason, people just do not like long headlines. They do not want the story. They want to just click, sit back and watch. Now what's going to happen is really interesting. Next year, it will no longer end up with a winner. Here's how it currently works. I put up three headlines, three thumbnails, whichever one generates the most engagement
click through or otherwise, YouTube decides will be the winner and it eliminates the other two. Now, everyone will just see this winner. Well, here's the thing. You've realized y'all that don't like the vague headlines won't click on it and they're losing out market share. So they said, how about this? You can upload three titles, three thumbnails and we'll leave it be. And the people who don't like clicking the vague headlines will never see one again. And the people who do will only see it. Thus the bifurcated future and culture is among us is upon us. So now with video testing, it's going to get absolutely wild. Here's what's going to happen. You are going to go on to YouTube and you're going to see the 10 am update from Tim Cast and it's going to say Donald Trump is bad. Your friend is going to log on and watch Tim Cast and they're going to see a thumbnail says Donald Trump is good and they're completely different videos. And when you watch the video, it's going to be Tim Poole saying something like this latest
move from Donald Trump has pissed everybody off and now he's in serious trouble. And then your friend who loves Trump is going to see Tim Poole wearing an American flag jacket top hat with a fake Uncle Sam Beard saying Trump is the best. Woo. No, I mean, I literally will not do that. But to be fair, we have talked about doing gags. One of the things I'm going to do, I'm going to do this is that in the middle of recording one of these videos in Crossland, we'll walk into the room and in a banana costume and we just start doing like some kind of shuffle, you know, do, do, do, do. And we're going to put that up and I'll just straight face to keep doing the news and then we'll put up two regular ones and one crazy one. And then after 10 minutes, we'll delete the crazy one and people are going to be like, I swear to God, I saw Ian dressed in a banana costume and everyone's going to be like, you're crazy bro, that's not in the video. I would Tim ever do that. This is the point and I am going to do that. But the reason I'm saying this is because imagine what this does in politics when they roll this out. Doctors are going to to A B test this.
There's going to be some new young, you know, Gen Z person and they're going to be like, I don't know if liberal or conservative does better. You'll remember the cooter, Mager, that influencer who sat in the chair and spread her legs out while complaining about politics. She has nothing to do in politics. She's just your typical only fans woman. I don't know if she's actually an only fans. I'm saying she's like that, right? People like that, I guarantee it are going to make Orange Man bad, Orange Man good, put them on the same URL and see which generates more traffic. Conservatives will click it, liberals will click it. I guarantee you if it's the Orange Man bad narrative, then liberals are going to click more than conservatives and the influencers are going to go, okay, I'm going to make liberal videos. But who knows? Who knows? All I can really say is based on everything we're seeing with YouTube's changes, they're basically eliminating long form, even though they were the king of online long form, they're getting rid of it. They're shifting to shorts.
I predicted, we hear Tim Kess predicted this entire thing back in 24. What they're doing is they're eliminating the long form podcast so that Joe Rogan can't influence the elections so that Tim Poole can't influence the elections. Subscriptions don't matter and have it for some time. Many people, I love that. You guys are watching Nerd Roddick. Great channel by the way. And he always opens with the more than, you know, X percent of people who people watching who won't subscribe. Subscribers don't matter. People don't care to subscribe. It used to be that if you subscribed, you were saying I want to see this. Not anymore, it doesn't matter because YouTube said, look, there are a lot of people that will subscribe to a channel that will never watch that video. So what is subscriptions at this point? Vanity. Subscription numbers are really good if you're trying to get booked for some gig or you're trying to book others. You know, for me, I can go, our booking team says Tim Kess gets 80 million views per month. It's actually more than that, but about 80 million.
That's long form views. And because we only just recently started doing shorts and has over 12 million followers on social media and they go, okay, I want to go on that show. Now, those numbers are true across the board. But subscribers on YouTube don't guarantee anybody actually watches your content because YouTube has basically eliminated the ability. What it used to be that you'd go to the front page of YouTube and there's 10 to 15 videos and it was a mix from your subscriptions and content you might like. Now you go to YouTube and it's like six and it's random channels you've never heard of. And they just want you to click on one. What I think they're doing is intentionally destroying the political ecosystem. They, you know, the scuttle butt behind the scenes is that YouTube's furious. They're losing all these podcasts. We did a split deal. So our show's simulcast on rumble and our members only content is rumble now. YouTube is pissed about that. Some of these big shows that were once dominating on YouTube have now gone to Netflix or Amazon Prime and YouTube keeps losing. And I'm hearing they're mad, but I got to be honest. I think it's all on purpose.
The prediction I made in 24 was that we're going to see the Democrat machine come back with the vengeance to go after the independent media space. And if you are not part of a network or an agency, you are cooked. Big YouTube show, good luck. There's not going to be any money. They're going to shift advertising dollars to shorts. It's not going to be based on subscription. The videos are going to be the ads are going to be placed randomly. And if you, you know, they're announcing things to try and make shorts work. Short series is a thing they're doing where it's like a season of shorts. Nobody subscribes for shorts. When you open Instagram and you're swiping through reels, it's random accounts. You're not going to an account and then clicking their videos to watch their videos. They are eliminating subscriptions and followers. And they're basically saying we're just going to pick winners and losers. So the independent media dream is coming to an end. And I think for obvious reasons, Donald Trump won in 2024. They do not want that. And so here we are, my friends.
Video A B testing is the end of days. And I reached out to Google, I said, guys, I really want this feature. I really want it because we're going to do wacky things. I'm not going to be disruptive to the content I already do. You know, we like I've, it's a slow new season where the midterms are coming up. We'll see how things kick off in the next year. But I imagine it's going to be absolutely psychotic. The stories that we already know about with the weaponization of law enforcement against innocent people. And how about this? By all means, rag on J6ers. But there were people who are not at J6 where their homes rated. Okay. There are people in media who have been Steve Bannon goes to jail, contemptive Congress, all of this crazy stuff. It's going to get bad. We have a bit of reprieve right now, but these people haven't gone away and they're going to come back with the vengeance. And you on YouTube won't know what's true or false because already it's all misinformation, manipulation and grifting. So good luck. Because I don't know how we're going to manage.
I don't know how we navigate this and it's an insane feature. But it's coming video A B testing. Three different videos delivered to people. Who knows? Who knows? And then what's going to happen is even outside of the manipulation of information, someone might make, they'll make a video where they talk like this today in the news. A plane was hijacked on its way to Israel. They're going to upload that one. Second video is going to go, it's crazy today. We're learning that a plane was hijacked and then the third video is going to be, my god, this is the craziest. And they're going to see which one does best. And it's going to form and shape these creators and we are going to get what I would describe as the epitome of lowest common denominator content. This is why we're seeing a lot of the vague headlines because people just like it better. I remember back in the day, Casey Neistat, Godfather of logging. He had that famous video, you know, that Nike video.
I don't know if you guys have seen it where he runs around the world in 10 days or whatever. And the thumbnail is two women in bikinis and they're posing and he's taking a picture. And that's basically why it did well. And don't get me wrong, the video is fantastic. It's a great short film and it's a great story and it's true. And the story is actually really funny. And you know, like 99% of it, but he's given public speeches where he said, like, here's the final details. It's crazy. He got a $25,000 deal to make a YouTube video, whatever I need to say. I'm going to spend it on myself and just run around the world. And they were like, what are you doing? And he's like, trust me. And they were like, no, take our branding off it. And then he's like, okay. And then the video explodes. It's getting millions of views. I'm like, stop. We want our logo on it. So back then, YouTube allowed you to actually swap the video uploads like to correct things. Crazy. Anyway, where we're going right now. Back then, if you made a thumbnail that was hot women, it worked. That's still true to this day. Man and women like clicking on photos of hot women.
Have fun. AB testing is going to get real interesting. My recommendation for those that don't take life too seriously and have no scruples. Whenever you do the news, find a way to incorporate beautiful women. You got a news story. Well, always lead your news, always end your news segments off with like women's volleyball update. And just be like, I'm a big fan of women's volleyball. So we end all of our segments with women's volleyball. Then your thumbnail can be a beautiful woman because the thing is if you put random women in your thumbnails, YouTube will penalize you for that. So I'm kidding. By the way, don't do that. But you get my point. People will find a way to maximize attention and make money and the rest of us. It ain't going to be so good. I'm going to leave it there. My friends, smash the like button, share the show, stick around, more to come throughout the day. And we'll see you on the next segment.
